Everclear is usually the highest proof alcohol readily available (the actual alcohol content depends on the state; in states where it's allowed, Everclear is sold at 190 proof, which is also the highest alcohol content that can be obtained by simple distillation). If you absolutely must get a concentration higher than that, you could try starting with Everclear (or some other 190-proof brand) and using fractional recrystallization (if you have a legitimate need for it, you'll know what that means and how to do it).

Also, it is at least theoretically possible to obtain 200 proof "absolute alcohol" (this has nothing to do with Absolut vodka, which is a brand name), though it's sold by chemical supply companies rather than liquor stores. Even if you can get it, it's not advised that you drink it: it may contain traces of benzene, a known carcinogen, which is added in order to distill the alcohol to a higher percentage than the 95% alcohol/water azeotrope normally permits.

Why is the boiling point of phenol greater than alcohol?

Phenol has stronger intermolecular forces (hydrogen bonding) between its molecules compared to alcohol. This stronger bonding requires more energy to break apart, resulting in a higher boiling point for phenol compared to alcohol.

How many shots of everclear before alcohol poisoning?

Everclear is 95% alcohol. Comparing that to most vodkas (40%) it is more than twice as strong. There are warning labels on the bottle that tell you not to drink it straight due to very possible harm to your body. Anyways, one shot of Everclear is about 2.5 shots of most other alcohol Alcohol poisoning is different for everyone. Alcohol usually has a greater effect on lighter weight and women, so they would succumb to alcohol poisoning before a heavier person. But it also varies by other things such as fat content, ethnicity, what or how much you have eaten that day. I would guess for the general population, alcohol poisoning would start around 2 - 3 shots, and right after those is death. (but it could start after 1 shot) play it a little safer and mix it with stuff, ALOT of non-alcoholic liquids before drinking
